Almost certainly she is Mist of charisma Danced languid in crimson Lithe limber limbs Seductive soft angst Glistening in lips full She is art Matryoshka nested in layers Pierced and cut yin Yang toned flesh on Sultry smiles and Womanly wiles She is in youth An erstwhile soul Standing in silence Spoken reticence In scented song Stripping bare duplicity Of a crimson culture A dream dashed In anguish The personification of the dance Bolero dancer The song And the harp The string The Chi of it all Melting in golden eyes Hate is a dead thing. Who of you would be a tomb? -Kahlil Gibran |

Bolero dancer The song And the harp The string The Chi of it all Melting in golden eyes Wow, what a way to wrap up such a delicious poem. I love your manipulation of imagery, always a treat to read. Where ya been, guy...withdrawls!  Good to see you post.May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

Sweetheart: You do have a way of making words dance or creating images that come to life.. "Stripping bare duplicity Of a crimson culture A dream dashed In anguish The personification of the dance" Made me think of a puppet master.. HUSG |

Rebel~ This is awesome, as is the illustration. Thank you for providing that link. I copied and pasted your poem and the art piece and they are each a compliment to the other. You do great work. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Rebel, this was tantalizingly beautiful. I read it twice - to make sure I didn't miss anything. Thanks Teresa King |

Very beautiful, and indeed, the link really added to the sensuality of it all! Bravo farm boy! LOL Hey, BTW, I finally got my email up and functioning properly, my new address is in my profile - I know you had asked, and unfortunately, the one I left for you, was the one malfunctioning!  Sorry! Have missed you! |
